The Pain of Installing a New Engine in an Old Truck...

I have no idea why, but this was the most challenging engine install I've ever done. Gotta love working on older trucks...

This has to be the most rewarding experience ever.

[@randoboggsdeepin8803]

Man you’re really genuine! Love the videos! I’m also from Texas and I’d trust you to build my old lq4 with 254,000 miles on it! Love ya brotha! Continue kicking ass!!

We call it “too dumb to fail” in Louisiana, I’m the poster child for the too dumb to fail campaign. Thanks for all the extra parts on an old truck that can be broken and warn out.

[@terrydonphillips4037]

Please create a playlist for the different builds. Love the amount of information being provided and how clear your explanations are

[@jimbarnes8706]

I’m impressed by you taking on a project like this. Also, seeing your perseverance with all the things that went wrong was quite admirable. It’s all a part of learning. Just think how much easier the next rebuild will go, because of what you’ve experienced.

[@jimbarnes8706]

You were able to show off your acting chops, and get a shot in about Ford. I love it.

[@ericspears2228]

Very enjoyable content, just the average guy with the average struggle. I am glad I am not the only one thinking these things when working on200k plus vehicles.

[@TheDailyDrift]

I try my best to show how things really are and not make it look easy, because it's not always smooth like butter

[@Unrealrainbow]

Your videos are soo good! editing, filming and all! youtube needs to work on their algorithm

[@carlosflores6572]

Great content. I just found your channel because of the "LS engine rebuild." I like your videos. Subscribed!

[@TheDailyDrift]

Thanks, glad you're here. I'll do my best to keep it up!

[@claymccoy7814]

What are you talking about adjusting on the transmission to make it shift more in time?

[@Daniel-Johnson]

Nothing lol there is no "cable" that can be adjusted on the 4l60.. any adjustments made must be done in the computer 🖥 i was laughing as he kept saying that and I got the worst anxiety when he put that foam garbage back under the intake! Those are Nothing but moisture dams and aid in premature failure of the knock sensors, when moisture finds it's way in to that area it pools in the knock sensor cavities of the valley cover and rusts out the knock sensors or water gets into the knock sensors causing them to fail by leaving those foam pads out you allow air flow over the top of the valley cover so any standing moisture inside the knock sensor cavities can evaporate it's also common practice when reinstalling the knock sensor harness with the rubber caps to put RTV around them and seal them off completely

Nice job. Pretty car :) On Finland these style trucks are not very common.

[@BarelyEditing-of5jr]

Man, this is pretty useful information. how expensive was all this to do?

[@silverado4u2nv]

Next time undo the manifolds from y pipe pull the manifolds out of the truck, then you leave the Mounts on the block

[@jacobvanhalteren7452]

8:39 - they literally recommend removing that part ass it traps dirt and water

[@terrydonphillips4037]

I just watched the paint video

[@Cyberhound-vu1re]

Hows it running still?

[@TheDailyDrift]

Still running great. My dad has been driving it daily since I swapped it out.
